Former Peterborough United, Gillingham and Stevenage midfielder Chris Whelpdale has left AFC Wimbledon by mutual consent.

The 30-year-old, who started his career in the academy of Ipswich Town, made 23 appearances for the Dons last season, scoring twice. He has also spent time in the non-league game playing for Maldon Town and Billericay Town, shortly after leaving the Tractor Boys.

Dons boss Neal Ardley said: "Chris had a difficult time with us. He started the season well, but had a lot of niggling injuries, which meant that he did not play much in the second half of the season. I am sure that Chris will be a big asset to another club."

AFC Wimbledon have thanked Whelpdale for his contribution to the club and wished him well in his future career.
